FAQ'S
Water-based screen printing uses inks where pigments are dissolved in a water-based solution. When applied to fabric, the water serves as the medium to transfer the pigment onto the material. As the ink cures, the water evaporates, leaving the pigment seamlessly bonded with the fabric fibers.
Eco-Friendly: Water-based inks offer a greener alternative to plastisol, which contains PVC and plasticizers. These inks are free from PVC and phthalates, making them a gentler choice for the planet.
Softer Touch: Water-based inks penetrate the fabric, resulting in a softer feel. This is perfect for garments where comfort is key, as opposed to the stiffer touch of plastisol prints.
Breathability: Since water-based inks dye the fabric rather than sitting on top, they enhance breathability. This makes them ideal for activewear and hot climates.
Durability: When cured properly, water-based prints are incredibly durable. Contrary to the belief that plastisol is the most resilient, water-based inks can create long-lasting prints that age gracefully with the fabric, avoiding peeling or cracking.
Vintage Effect: For a classic, vintage look, water-based inks are the go-to. They easily achieve a distressed or washed-out appearance, adding character to your designs.
Versatility: These inks work well on a variety of textiles, including cotton, blends, and some synthetics, offering flexibility for diverse project needs.
Water based screen printing is a versatile printing method and can be applied to a large number of textile makeups including 100% cotton, cotton blends, linen, bamboo, hemp and other speciality fabrics.
Due to the thinner nature of water-based inks, there are some limitations that need to be considered when printing with this medium. Since these inks are absorbed into the textile, they can be subdued when placed on dark backgrounds and therefore there is less vibrancy that can be achieved on darker fabrics. This also applies to printing certain shades of colours because they can be influenced by the colour of the fabric they’re printed on. Almost all of the time of these things can be overcome with creativity in design and expertise in the printing process.
